    I haven't eaten at CB for a while because of the high salt and calorie content of the menu, but used to meet family and friends there a lot even though the local one was a distance from home. I'm now relegating it to the same trash can as Subway for throwing white guys (I am one!) under the bus. Plenty of other places to eat. I see Steak & Shake has come to town, too! The CEO is apparently a woke ignorant twit that couldn't come up with anything better to improve the brand than to trash a great "ol' timey" heritage. Yeah, I watched part of her interview and she seemed like a product of left wing academia struggling to be relevant. For those that don't know, crackers were shipped in barrels long ago and were common in general stores.

    I looked up where the guy on the logo came from and here's what I found: The guy on the logo was called Uncle Herschel...

    "Fans have speculated that Uncle Herschel is Herschel McCartney, the uncle of Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins. McCartney was a goodwill ambassador for the company in its early days when it was founded in Tennessee in 1969, according to Cracker Barrel Insider.

    But, according to the company, that’s not true.

    The man is just a generic figure created by Nashville designer Bill Holley, who wrote it on a napkin in 1977. His aim was to “create a feeling of nostalgia with an old-timer wearing overalls,” according to Cracker Barrel."
